“So let this be the first and sacred law of friendship: seek only good from friends, do only good for the sake of friends- and don't wait to be asked! Be always attentive! Banish hesitation! Be ready to give advice freely! Take seriously the good advice of friends. Be ready to offer it openly, even forcefully, if the occasion demands- and also be ready to follow when it's been offered.”
